Does anyone know of websites or have advice training with a DA/SA pistol..I have one I did not shoot yet as I am use to DAO pistols..The gun is a 5906 S&W..
Thanks |

Don't know of any websites, so I'm tagging into this thread, but I always planned that it would have to be a quick judgement call.
If someone is an immediate threat within a few feet I've practiced for a quick CCW draw and DA first shot, otherwise I make a quick assessment of if I have time to cock the hammer to gain the benefit of a very accurate first SA shot. My main gun used to be a striker fired Glock with a very light trigger pull from an OEM 3.5lb connector, to try and emulate the light weight of an SA shot, but I've come around to DA/SA being safer and more accurate after the first shot no matter what. |

Practice. I shoot just about all sigs ( and one 1911), and the only thing way i've found is to work through it.
Also, I practice the DA trigger pull, a lot. That's what 75% of my dry fire practice is, and about 25% of my live fire practice. It's quite possible to make an accurate shot with a DA pull in a hurry, with practice. Good luck. |

i do all of my dry fire drills in DA almost exclusively...probably 10% are in single action if the gun is a DA/SA gun.
My logic for this is that if I train on the DA, the SA shots will always come as a surprise and so long as I keep a good sight picture I may be more accurate. The thing I've noticed shooting my Beretta 92FS is that the DA pull is the only one I really notice, the rest fall into place for me. |

Lots of practice, from the holster if at all possible. Always shoot the first shot DA, then do 1 or 3 follow up shots, either on the same target, or if the range makes it possible, transitioning to a different target for the follow ups.
Then safety on, or decock, and back in the holster and start again. That's what I did with my S&W 645, my Beretta 92, and my Sig 226 to get good with them. It also seems to make your ammo last longer per range session.
